University of Applied Sciences
In the Netherlands there are two types of universities. Windesheim is a University of Applied Sciences, where higher professional education is taught. This means that besides theoretical knowledge, the student will get hands-on experience through internships, projects with the professional field, group work, workshops and guest lectures.
The classes are small (max. 25-30 students per class). After a four-year Bachelor’s programme, students usually start their career. Research universities, on the other hand, offer highly academic, research-oriented programmes. These take three years and will be followed by a Master’s programme of 1-3 years, depending on the subject.
